From properly and carefully stripping older pieces, possibly bleaching or re-staining them, then lovingly re-leafing, oiling or sealing them, I am determined to bring out the finest qualities in a piece - whether that be the wood grain, design features, or other unique characteristics.



Prior to doing decorative painting full-time, I freelanced doing restoration on the largest antique poster collection and managed Troubetzkoy Paintings - a gallery specializing in custom-made copies for decorators and art dealers and collectors. As a result, I have the knowledge and experience to both restore paintings, frames, and to do exact copies of original art given there are no copyright constraints.
